Hey, Momma! You and your son are total cuties! Your dreads are really coming along well -- keep your patience handy and don't give up, you're already well on your way! I hear you on how good it feels to talk to people about your locks and help dispel the nasty stereotypes and closed minds out there. I always love talking to the over 65 crowd, too. I'm quick to remind them of folks like the amazing Toni Morrison, with her beautiful crown of long, silver gray dreads and Bobby McFerrin who has grown quite a main of beautiful slim dreads. Dreads are for all of us...old and young...all colors, cultures, genders, religions and beyond. I hope you do let your beautiful "garden" grow and flourish. You just might inspire your son to grow a brand new set! Be well, sweet sister

My last haircut was over 18 months ago ad I've been simply neglecting my hair for about 8 of those months.I have mainly been using anti residue shampoo and occasional vinegar rises. I am currently trying to recover from a nightmare with beeswax.(UGH! wish I found this site sooner! 3 weeks and its STILL not out yet)

thankyou also momma for the reply, sorry for my late response. Sounds like you started them on a proper way. Sometimes i wish i could start over because mine are becoming very mature and i like them wild. Somethimes i'm pulling hair out of the dreads to keep em wild. Other than that i just wash my hair a lot, washing helps the progress a lot! The loops and bumps is the coolest stage, enjoy it! Eventually they will shrink into the dreads, but after 4 years i still have a lot of bumps and loops, i hope they don't completely shrink into the dreads, i think it adds a lot of caracter. Keep us updated, i'm very curious how they will mature. It will be a wild journey!
